Disappointing experience ! Not up to standard

The cottage was not clean at all. The seat cushions on the chair in the living room had clearly not been cleaned in a while (we found old crumbs, hairs, dust). The kitchen was the same. We have to rewash all plates etc...to use them. Some of the dishes were in a disgusting state and had clearly not been checked after the previous guests, there is a problem with the dishwasher that needs sorting for future guests. Another very disappointing issue was the second bedroom. The house advertises for 4 people but it is a small cupboard and only very small children could fit in this.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your comments which are very important to us in order to make our service to future guests as perfect as possible. Since your stay, we have parted company with the cleaning company we used at the time of your stay, and we now have a very reputable cleaning company and to date, we have had a 5* review and no complaints.
The second bedroom is small, as mentioned in our cottage description, however we opted for adult sized Feather and Black handmade good quality beds which do take up more space, however we also have a good sized chest of drawers in the room and a large airy window and several bookings where adults have happily slept in this room.
It is important that guests make us aware of any issues such as the dishwasher not cleaning properly, (it needed topping up with rinse aid) as soon as possible after they have checked in, so that we can rectify anything at the start of your stay, and we then do not have to wait for a review to find out what the issues were! Thank you.

Character cottage

Pebble Cottage was well situated, close to the main street of Aldeburgh. As a slightly historic building, what it missed out on with modern conveniences was made up in the character of the building. It was cosy with many good amenities in the kitchen, bathroom, etc. Some small niggles didn't spoil our holiday: parking was a long way from the house; the kitchen and utensils weren't quite spotless when we arrived; a winter-weight duvet was a bit heavy even for a British summer. Other small inconveniences were a result of the age of the building and couldn't be avoided, so the steep staircase, downstairs bathroom and shared courtyard didn't spoil our holiday but some people might have had problems with them. We had no contact with the owners once we'd arrived but I'm sure they would have been helpful.

I would recommend the cottage to friends if they were ok with the above. Aldeburgh was a fantastic town, with lots of historical and cultural interest and a great atmosphere. There are plenty of places to eat and two supermarkets quite close to the cottage. Aldeburgh bookshop is fantastic for such a small town. We enjoyed exploring Snape, Orford, Southwold, Framlingham and the local countryside.

Enjoyable weekend break

Lovely small cottage very close to Aldeburgh 'town centre'. As mentioned in the details the stairs are very steep and the second bedroom is very small. It would not suit anyone who is large as you have to squeeze between the bunk beds and walls. Notwithstanding this we enjoyed our stay. It is very conveniently located and although you can't park outside there was plenty of street parking nearby. We visited Southwold and Thorpness nearby and took advantage of the lovely weather by sitting in the courtyard drinking wine in the evening.

Well appointed, warm and cosy.

We enjoyed our 2 day stay at Pebble Cottage. Good location within Aldeburgh and close to many interesting places and walking spots. We were slightly taken aback at the steepness and narrowness of the stairs; we both have knee issues and found climbing up and down the stairs quite difficult particularly with luggage! Thank you to our hosts for the welcome pack and for the clear information about the running of the cottage.
